THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:

"Which Investments Are Safe - and Profitable?"

Uncertainty seems to be the watchword as we begin the “New Year”.  Uncertainty over jobs, uncertainty over global challenges, uncertainty over "underwear" bombers, climate change, and the effects of recent legislation all seem to be weighing us down with a feeling of malaise.

For investors with funds available for increasing wealth, the question becomes "Which investments are "safe" AND profitable as well?" 

We're all being told daily on TV that "Gold!" is the answer - that gold has tripled in the last 6 years – and it has.  The question becomes why buy gold at its all-time high price of over $1,100/ounce?  The ads say "you can touch it and hold it" but beyond that – so what?  Unless you're Scrooge McDuck from the old comic books and want to swim in your pool of gold coins, it’s just going to sit in your safe, while your dreams of wealth dissipate.  Remember, the key to wealth is NOT "Buy high – sell low!"

Next, come the quarterly reports on your "401k".  So how’s that working for you?  Right now stocks are at a high point.  I just looked at all 100 of the companies known as "America's Best" and found reasonable good buys on only two of them.  The rest are at a high point – not a sure bet for more growth.

So where do you go for growth AND security?  Whether you have cash available or a substantial amount tucked away in your IRA accounts, raw mountain land is the best-kept investment secret.

Since asking prices peaked in 2008, the average asking price per acre in Ashe, Avery, Watauga, and Wilkes counties has retreated by 40.7% from its previous all-time high.  Remember – buy LOW & sell HIGH!  Land IS the answer.

Now once you invest in land, what can you do with it while it’s appreciating in value?  Well – you can picnic on it, hike on it, hunt on it, camp on it, spend quality time with your family on it, lease it to hunters for income, sell the timber for additional income, or build a weekend cabin (more quality family time).

If you've never owned a large land parcel – fear not!  Begin by asking for a copy of our "Carolina Dreaming" land buyer’s manual.  It’s a quick, easy-to-read 29 page primer on the land buying process.  It will help you make an informed decision about land.

To learn more about putting land in your IRA, call for details!
